Funny Fruit Bird Feeder
Part of the pleasure of feeding wild birds is the added esthetic it brings to your environment. Simply put, folks like to look at artistic, fun, fancy and whimsical things. Bird feeders are no exception, with every make and model imaginable!This fruit bird feeder is really a hoot, the Angel Cat he’s called. But more than fun, he’s a totally functional feeder for year round use. Maybe your resident birds don’t eat fruit in winter, but sure as day…they’ll eat suet when temperatures are freezing. And that’s the beauty of this fruit bird feeder-it can be used for suet balls in winter time. Change up fruit offerings and see who comes around. Orioles are a sure bet for orange halves, while apples and melon may attract woodpeckers.
With a total of six perches, (3 in front-3 in back) there’s plenty of room for birds to stop and feed. And with the large rustic, movable wings and tail, birds may perch here as well, to rest a bit or wait their turn for some chow.
Hand crafted of fast growth, renewable wood, the Angel Cat makes a great gift for any birding enthusiast, cat person, or nature lover on your gift list!

Ant Moats Make it Better
They don’t have to be fancy, just kept filled with water. When feeding hummingbirds or orioles, sweet nectar can easily become messy nectar! Filled with ants to ruin your pleasurable bird watching experience, and feathered friends’ meals too.Ant moats totally alleviate this pesky problem. As long as they’re kept filled with water-they’ll do their job properly. And by adding a drop or two of salad oil, it helps to slow evaporation during higher temperatures.
Basic ant moats work just as well as decorative ones, there’s even a clear model that allows you to easily view the water level…very clever! I’ve even read that you can make one from a peanut butter jar lid and some simple hardware.
Whatever model tickles your fancy, it’s definitely best to add one to feeders before ants become a problem!
